ORNAMENT-SUPPORT.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patent d D130A 27 1921 Application filed. August 24, 1921. Serial No. 495,094.

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LOUIS V. ARoNsoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ornament-Supports, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to supports for ornaments for automobiles, and has as an object the provision of a support which may be clamped to a temporary indicating device such as is commonly applied to the fillin cap of an automobile radiator.

An illustrative embodiment of the inven- 'tion is shown in the accompanying drawing in which Figure 1 is a front elevation. Fig. 2 is a vertical section on line 2-2 of Fig. 1. F 3 is a horizontal section taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 1, and Fig. 4 is a detail side elevation partly in section showing a modification.

The device to which the structure provided by the invention is designed to secure an ornament is made in the form of a disk 10 supported upon a pedestal 11, being connected therewith by means of a neck 12.

The instrument referred to must have both its faces exposed, in order to enable the user to note the indication given by the instrument. To leave both faces exposed the support provided by the invention is made in the form of a ring 13 adapted to surround one face of the instrument, preferably the rear face as shown, and to overlap slightly on the edge thereof, as indicated in Fig. 2 at 1 1-. At the bottom portion of the ring 13 there is formed one-half 15 of a clamping ring adapted to inclose the neck 12 of the instrument, and be clamped thereon.

Coacting with the portion 15 is a second half 16 of a ring provided with ears 17, 18 which are perforated to receive clamping screws 19, which screws take into threaded perforations formed at the sides of the half ring 15. At the top of the ring 13 is formed a hook 20, which overlaps the upper edge of the disk 10 of the instrument and renders the hold of the ring 13 secure thereon. The base 21 is formed integral with the upper portion of the ring 13 and with the hook 20 and serves as a direct support for the ornament 22 shown in the present instance as a representation of an eagle. In modifications of Figs. 1 and 2 the ornament i shown as cast integral with the base 21. p In the modification of Fig. ho wever the ornament 22 is shown as formed separate from the base 21', which base has an opening for passage of a stud bolt 23 whereby the ornament 22' may be secured upon the base.

To apply the support to the instrument the half 16 of the clamping ring is removed, the hook 20 is engaged with the top of the disk 10 with the ring 15 swung to the rear. The half ring 15 is then brought into position, the hook 2O pivoting. about the upper portion of the instrument. The half ring 16 is then applied andthe screws 19 tightened upon the device.

Minor changes may be made in the physical embodiment of the invention without departing from the spirit.

I claim:

1. Means for supporting an ornament upon a disk-shaped instrument, comprising a ring adapted to contact with the edge'of said instrument, a clamp cooperating with said ring and adapted to be secured to the supporting means of said instrument, and a base for an ornament carried by the upper portion of the ring.

2. Means for securing an ornament upon a disk-shaped instrument having a supporting neck, comprising an open ring adapted to contact withthe edge of the disk, a clamp cooperating with said ring and adapted to grasp the neck of the disk, a hook diametrically opposite the clamp adapted to overlie theedge of the disk, and

means for supporting an ornament upon said ring.

3. Means for securing an ornament upon a. disk-shaped instrument having a supporting neck, comprising an open ring adapted to contact with the edges of the disk and formed with a concaved seat adapted to partially surround said neck, a clamp adapted to coact with said seat for completely surrounding said'neck and screwed to said ring, a hook upon said ring adapted to overlie the upper edge of said disk, a. base formed integral with said'ring and hook having a perforation therein, and an ornament having a fastening mean passing,

through said perforation whereby it is secured upon said base. I

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

Louis v. ARONSON.
